The throwing pope Pál Németh. His nickname is “the Throwing Pope”. (He's a king with a hat.) With other words, he is the founder of the school of throwers in Szombathely. He could have become an artist, but he was set back. He started to do something else, and he made something remarkable. He is the coach of an uncountable number of National-, European- and World Champions (Have I missed something?). Let's have a look at him, while he's doing his job. “He's cool, but rather old fashioned.” Watching him and his circumstances one cannot see what he has achieved. Whatever he starts, he seems to be good at. Because he's talented. Not skilful, talented. And that's not enough. He will drown anyway, but he keeps on doing it. Here and now.
